Minutes by CO staff

Mr Elliot
We have no official information respecting this case; and the local Newspapers have been searched

but with no success. We can only therefore send copies of the enclosures to the Govr and ask him to make the necessary enquiry?

VJ 29 April

Draft—& tell the applicant. Draft also.

TFE 30/4

See further Minute annexed.

VJ 2 May

Mr Elliot
Since the above Minutes were written later Van Couver Island Papers have arrived, giving an account of the accident by which the Policeman Currey was killed & of the Coroners Inquest. Instead therefore of writing to the Governor send the Newspaper to Mr Pease, returning the enclosures in his letter as requested.

VJ 2 May

Mr Jadis
Will you so proceed.
